The in-universe tag negates the flagging of (otherwise) YMMV items, and it does so for a reason: perceptions of characters, by characters, can substitute those of the audience. If not here, then where would the use of the tag be justified?

and that's just what we know of. I have my doubts a Gonk
would be able to do that. After all they aren't just unattractive they are absurdly ugly and in extreme
contrast to the rest of the show. Roberto actually fits
in better with the rest of the class then Johan does.
Johan, the pretty boy is the exception not Roberto.
Also although Roberto is stocky he is by no means fat.
Roberto is built like a tank. The guy could be a line backer.
I don't think Roberto is Gonk. As far as attractiveness goes
you'd probably have to ask someone else since I don't find
guys attractive in the first place. But Roberto doesn't
seem like someone who would have too much trouble finding
a date. A Gonk most certainly would.

I should add that while Blue Sophie is not exactly the epitome of beautiful. Eva Heinemann IS supposed to be rather attractive (ironically
she actually looks better when she's older thanks to better art)
and the girl who sells bratwurst seems like she would be in her 20s
and fairly attractive herself. Perhaps not Nina attractive (who again
is the exception. She is supposed to be absurdly beautiful.) but
still supposed to be attractive.
